Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken feet
- water
- 1 thumb-size ginger, pounded
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 4 tablespoons ginger, peeled and julienned
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 cup uncooked glutinous rice (malagkit)
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- salt and pepper to taste
- green onions, chopped
- Fried garlic bits
- calamansi or lemon, cut into wedges
For the Fried Garlic Bits
- 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
- ½ cup oil
Instructions
- Rub chicken feet with salt, rinse, and drain well. Using a knife or kitchen shears, cut ends to remove nails and trim any calluses from the paws.
- In a pot over medium heat, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. Add chicken feet and pounded ginger. Cook, skimming any scum that floats on top. for about 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken feet are tender.
- Drain and rinse chicken feet with cold water. Discard liquid.
- In a pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened.
- Add chicken feet and cook, occasionally stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add fish sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add rice and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add about 10 cups of water and bring to a boil, removing scum that may float on the top.
- Add bouillon cubes and stir until dissolved.
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally and adding additional water in ½ cup increments if needed, for about 30 to 40 minutes or until rice is softened, congee has thickened to desired consistency, and chicken feet are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into serving bowls and top with green onions, fried garlic bits, and drizzle with calamansi juice as desired. Serve hot.
For the Fried Garlic Bits
- In a pan over low heat, heat oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic from oil and drain on paper towels.
Notes
- As the feet take longer to tenderize than the rice, boil them first with few pieces of ginger to give them a headstart as well as to rid of any extra protein or impurities. Discard this liquid and use a fresh batch of water when cooking the congee.
